Chapter 7
On the ground level, the girls were looking around Hershey's house. They thought it was cool, and she showed them where they'd be sleeping.
"Well, whatta you think?" Hershey asked the three girls.
"Great!"
"Awesome!"
"Cool!"
Hershey's house was big. She explained to them that because she was part of the Secret Service, she got extra things like, well, a bigger house! They were all able to sleep in the living room, where she set up some mattresses for them to sleep on.
"Yeah. It's not much, but it's the biggest room in the house!" Hershey said happily.
"It's fine, Hershey!" Misty said politely. They all said their "thank-yous"and even Jessie was polite.
"So, howabout a tour of the city?" Hershey said, "Let's go meet up with the guys, and we'll show you around!"

"So, how do you like it, guys?" Sonic asked the boys.
"I like it!"
"Me too!"
"Yes, it's pretty good!"
"Awesome!"
Sonic and Tails' room (where they were staying) was cool. There were posters on the walls, a big blue shag carpet and plenty of room.
"Yeah, it's not much, but it's our room!" Tails said. Then a voice called from the other room.
"Sonic? Have the Overlanders come yet?" Suddenly two hedgehog-like robots walked in the door.
"AAAA!!"
"EEEHEHEHE!!"
"Omygosh!"
"No, no, it's okay! These people are my mom and dad!" Sonic said.
"But, they're……….robots……..just like the ones we saw outside!!!" James said, astonished.
"Hmmm…." Brock said with a grave look on his face, "I didn't realize it before, but I just remembered….'roboticizing'…..King Acorn mentioned it, but he didn't say what it was……horrible.."
"I agree." Sonic said with a sigh, "It's his best weapon of defense against us."
"Aw, don't get all upset over us! We're only one of the millions of others who had it done to them! Sonic's uncle is one, too……" Sonic's mom said, "Oh! How terribly rude of me! My name is Bernie, and this is Jules…say, how about we go meet the girls!"
"The girls? Why?" Ash said.
"Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you, we're going on a tour of the city! Prince Elias himself is gonna do it!" Tails said.
"Wow!" Tracey said. They walked out onto the large tree canopy their house was built on, Tails turned to Ash, "Hey, how would you like a ride down?"
"Sure!" Ash said.
"Alright, hold on!" Tails said. He grabbed the fox's hands, and they both jumped off. Tails' tails started whirring like a helicopter's blades and they flew off towards Mobotropolis.
"Why are we going this way? I thought we were going down?" Ash asked him.
"We will……eventually…I hafta show you something that I think you should have seen already.." Tails' voice trailed off as they reached the city, and Ash soon saw why. As he looked down, he saw peace and tranquility, but he looked ahead and saw a massive blue robotic city teeming with destruction and filled with mindless automatons. In-between these two opposite cities was almost a physical dividing line of fighting.
"Wha - what is that??" Ash said, his jaw dropping.
"Well, I daresay that King Acorn told you about Robotnik.." Tails said sadly.
"Yeah, but…is that his city??" Ash said, his eyes widening.
"Yup. This whole place used to be our city a long time ago, but Robotnik took over and we didn't even have a city. When the first Robotnik was destroyed, we got the city back, but now that there's another one, we only managed to keep that." Tails pointed to Mobotropolis.
"Wow. I'm sorry…" Ash said.
"It's okay. As long as I'm not a robot, there's still hope of freedom." Tails said wisely, "I think we should go back now." Ash was feeling much pity for Tails and the others, but he did his best not to show it. Everyone was there waiting for them when they got back, and when they landed, Misty cocked her head and stared at Ash.
"Where have you two been? And what's with you?" She said, concerned. Ash still had a dazed, aloof look on his face, and everyone was staring at him. Suddenly, Sonic spoke up:
"I think Tails took him took him to see Robotropolis. The first time's always the hardest."
